About

Good for

  • exploring how games tell stories
  • thoughtful analysis of game themes
  • finding games with meaningful narratives

My videos and articles provide in-depth analysis of games from a psychological and philosophical perspective, focusing on how games tell meaningful stories. I like to try and express how games have moved me, whether it's the awesome terror of Subnautica, the life-affirming message of Hellblade, the self-compassion of Celeste, the comforting nostalgia of A Short Hike, or the hard-hitting portrayal of death in Pathologic 2. (Also I do the occasional skit where I dress up silly and make an idiot out of myself.) As well as the Youtube channel I write articles which I publish on Medium and occasionally in other outlets. I created this channel because I want to see more intelligent criticism of games as an art form and less toxicity in the community. I like to think I'm making a small contribution in that direction, and you can be a part of that by supporting me on Patreon and sharing my work.
